Learning Objectives:

At the end of the chapter, the students are expected to:

1. Recognize the history of physical fitness in the world and in the Philippines.
2. Analyze and differentiate the components of physical fitness.
3. Conduct a Physical Fitness Test.
4. Present the importance and usage of physical fitness component on one’s daily

Lesson 1: Physical Fitness

What does physical fitness mean to you? Do you consider physical fitness only applies to
elite athletes and sports enthusiasts? Do you have to train as hard as elite athletes to gain physical
fitness attributes and benefits? Do you consider yourself to be physically fit?

Content

Physical fitness refers to the ability of your body systems to work together efficiently to
allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living. Being efficient means doing daily
activities with the least effort possible. A fit person is able to perform schoolwork, meet home
responsibilities, and still have enough energy to enjoy sport and other leisure activities. A fit person
can respond effectively to normal life situations, such as raking leaves at home, stocking shelves
at a part-time job, and marching in the band at school. A fit person can also respond to emergency
situations - for example, by running to get help or aiding a friend in distress.

To wrap it up, Physical Fitness is generally defined as a set of abilities that an individual
possesses in order to perform specific types of physical activity efficiently and effectively. It is
also the ability to carry out to alertness and vigor, without undue fatigue, and with enough energy
reserve to meet enjoy leisure time. Likewise, it is the ability to function efficiently and effectively,
to enjoy healthy, to resist disease, and to cope with emergency situations.

Lesson 2: History of Physical Fitness

Greece

• Major influence on physical development


• The main elements in Greek boys were gymnastics and music
• Gymnastics had a wide variety of physical activities and sports
• Greek boys were encouraged to become athletes so they could compete in games
• The greek boys competing in sports made up a greek sporting calendar with a number of
games Greece

Roman

• Military training was important to Roman life


• The education for boys going to the military slanted in obedience, discipline, and physical
prowess which all add up to gymnastics
• On November 27,1885 in Roman, people formed an Association for the Advancement of
Physical Activity because there were no specific groups for any physical activity
• Dr. Edward Hitchcock founded the first college department of physical education at
Amherst College

YMCA

• The YMCA began in England in 1844


• It was devoted to character education and physical activity
• In 1851 the first American YMCA was formed in Boston YMCA

USA and Europe

• 1885 – birth of physical fitness


• Frank Lloyed – head of New York University Fitness

Expansion of Public Schooling

• In 1901 the first master’s degree program in physical education started at Teachers College
in Colombia
• In 1903 Delphine Hanna appointed first female full professor of physical education
• In 1908 the first high school swimming pool was built in Detroit
• In 1911 the National Park service was formed which is known as an agency of the United
States federal government that manages all U.S. national parks, many american national

monuments, and other conservation and historical properties with various title designations

Philippines

• 1920 – Physical Fitness program is integrated as part of educational curriculum


• 1946 – PE and Health were added in the curriculum
• Sec. Juan C. Manuel – approved the operation of physical; fitness on April 27, 1971
• January 1972 – implementation of Physical Fitness program in pilot school

Modern Physical Activity

• Today there is not many physically active people


• due to videogames and television some people don’t have the motivation
• Physical and mental fitness play very important roles in your lives and people who are
both, physically and mentally fit are less prone to medical conditions as well
• A person who is fit is capable of living life to its fullest extent
• Some modern physical activities include walking, running, sports (baseball, football,
cheerleading, swimming, etc.), working out/exercising, and many more.

Friedrich Jahn

The father of our more modern physical education classes, who was a teacher in the early
1800s who began teaching a program of outdoor physical education activities for students in the
secondary schools where he taught.

Lesson 3: Components of Physical Fitness

HEALTH RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS

Health Related Fitness (HRF) – is the ability of the body to meet the demands of daily physical
effort and activity, to have enough energy for unexpected emergencies and to enjoy the feeling of
well being that regular exercise brings.

The 5 components of physical fitness are often used in our school systems, health clubs and
fitness centers to gauge how good a shape we are truly in. The 5 components that make up total
fitness are:

• Cardiovascular Endurance
• Muscular Strength
• Muscular endurance
• Flexibility
• Body Composition

Total fitness can be defined by how well the body performs in each one of the components of
physical fitness as a whole. It is not enough to be able to bench press your body weight. You also
need to determine how well you can handle running a mile etc.

A closer look at the individual components:

1. Cardiovascular endurance is the


ability of the heart and lungs to work
together to provide the needed oxygen
and fuel to the body during sustained
workloads. Examples would be
jogging, cycling and swimming. The
Cooper Run is used most often to test
cardiovascular endurance.

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
5

2. Muscular strength is the amount of force a


muscle can produce. Examples would be the
bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push
up test is most often used to test muscular
strength.

3. Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to


perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples
would be cycling, step machines and elliptical
machines. The sit up test is most often used to test
muscular endurance.

4. Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move


through the available range of motion for a
specific joint. Examples would be stretching
individual muscles or the ability to perform
certain functional movements such as the lunge.
The sit and reach test is most often used to test
flexibility.

It involves four basic movements, namely:

4.1 Flexion – bending a body segment


4.2 Exension – straightening a body segment
4.3 Abduction – moving a limb away from the body
4.4 Adduction – moving a limb toward the body

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________

5. Body composition is the amount of fat mass
compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This
can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold
readings, and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater
weighing is considered the “gold standard” for body
fat measurement/ hydrostatic underwater weighing,
however because of the size and expense of the
equipment needed very few places are set up to do this
kind of measurement.

PERFORMANCE / SKILL RELATED FITNESS COMPONENTS

Performance Related Fitness (PRF) – components are associated more with performance than
good health. To compete in selected sporting activities, one develops a high level of Health-
Related Fitness plus Performance Related Fitness.

There are six skill-related fitness components: agility, balance, coordination, speed, power,
and reaction time. Skilled athletes typically excel in all six areas.

1. Agility is the ability to change and


control the direction and position of the body
while maintaining a constant, rapid motion. For
example, changing directions to hit a tennis
ball.

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
7

2. Balance is the ability to control or stabilize the


body when a person is standing still or
moving. For example, in-line skating.

3. Coordination is the ability to use the senses together


with body parts during movement. For example,
dribbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes together
is called hand-eye coordination.

4. Speed is the ability to move your body or parts of your


body swiftly/cover a distance in a short period of time.
Many sports rely on speed to gain advantage over your
opponents. For example, a basketball player making a
fast break to perform a lay-up, a tennis player moving
forward to get to a drop shot, a football player out
running the defense to receive a pass.

5. Power is the ability to move the body parts swiftly while applying the maximum force of the
muscles. Power is a combination of both speed and muscular strength. For example, fullbacks
in football muscling their way through other players and speeding to advance the ball and
volleyball players getting up to the net and lifting their bodies high into the air.

6. Reaction Time is the ability to reach or respond quickly to what you hear, see, or feel. For
example, an athlete quickly coming off the blocks early in a swimming or track relay, or
stealing a base in baseball.

Activity 3: Muscular Endurance

Name of Activity: Partial Curl-Up Test (from the Connecticut Physical Fitness Test)

• Purpose: The curl-up test measures abdominal strength and endurance, which is important in
back support and core stability.

• Equipment: a flat, clean, cushioned surface, meter stick, tape, recording sheets, and pen

• Procedure: The starting position is lying on the back with


the knees flexed and feet 12 inches from the buttocks. The
feet cannot be held or rest against an object. The arms are
extended and are rested on the thighs. The head is in a neutral
position. The subject curls up with a slow controlled
movement, until the student's shoulders come off the mat
two inches, then back down again. One complete curl-up is
completed every three seconds (1.5 seconds up and 1.5
seconds down, with no hesitation), and are continued until
exhaustion (e.g. the subject cannot maintain the rhythm).
There is no pause in the up or down position, the curl-ups
should be continuous with the abdominal muscles engaged
throughout.

• Scoring: Record the total number of curl ups. The


completion of one complete curl up counts as one. Only correctly performed curl ups should be
counted - the sit up is not counted if the shoulders are not raised up two inches; the head touches
the mat; the heels come off the mat and or the student is off cadence.

Activity 10: Speed

Name of Activity: 50meter dash

• Purpose: The aim of this test is to determine acceleration


and speed.

• Equipment required: measuring tape or marked track,


stopwatch, cone markers, flat and clear surface of at least 70
meters.

• Procedure: The test involves running a single maximum


sprint over 50 meters, with the time recorded. A thorough
warm up should be given, including some practice starts and
accelerations. Start from a stationary standing position (hands cannot touch the ground), with
one foot in front of the other. The front foot must be behind the starting line. Once the subject
is ready and motionless, the starter gives the instructions "set" then "go.". The tester should
provide hints for maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard with the arms and legs)
and the participant should be encouraged to not slow down before crossing the finish line.

• Scoring: Two trials are allowed, and the best time is recorded to the nearest 2 decimal places.
The timing starts from the first movement (if using a stopwatch) or when the timing system is
triggered, and finishes when the chest crosses the finish line and/or the finishing timing gate is
triggered.

Name of Activity: Vertical Jump Test (Sargent Jump)

• Purpose: to measure the leg muscle power

• Equipment required: measuring tape or marked wall, chalk for marking


wall (or Vertec or jump mat).

• Procedure (see also variations below): the athlete stands side on to a wall
and reaches up with the hand closest to the wall. Keeping the feet flat on
the ground, the point of the fingertips is marked or recorded. This is called
the standing reach height. The athlete then stands away from the wall, and
leaps vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to assist in
projecting the body upwards. The jumping technique can or cannot use a
countermovement. Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the
jump. The difference in distance between the standing

• Scoring: The jump height is usually recorded as a distance score. See the
vertical jump norm table to rate scores. For more information, see a selection of vertical jump
test results. It is also possible to convert jump height into a power or work score.

Name of Activity: Ruler Drop Test

• Purpose: to measure reaction time, hand-eye quickness and attentiveness.

• Equipment required: 1 meter long ruler or Yardstick, calculator.

• Procedure: The person to be tested stands or sits near the edge of a table, resting their elbow
on the table so that their wrist extends over the side. The assessor holds the ruler vertically in
the air between the subject's thumb and index finger, but not touching. Align the zero mark
with the subjects fingers. The subject should indicate when they are ready. Without warning,
release the ruler and let it drop - the subject must catch it as quickly as possible as soon as
they see it fall. Record in meters the distance the ruler fell. Repeat several times (e.g. 10 times)
and take the average score.

Calculation: Calculate the average distance the meterstick fell. Use the table below to determine
how long it took the ruler to fall the measured distance (distance in cm, time in seconds). The table
is based on the following formula, where d = the distance the ruler fell in meters, g = the
acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t = the time the ruler was falling (seconds)

t = sqrt ( 2d / g )

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
Learning Objectives:

At the end of the chapter, the students are expected to:

1. Explain the importance of exercise prescription to a fitness program.


2. Identify the different types of exercises and differentiate each type and fit it according
to individual’s fitness goal; and
3. Design an exercise plan/program to address all components of physical fitness.

Lesson 1: What is Exercise Prescription

What is Exercise Prescription? Exercise prescription commonly refers to the specific plan
of fitness-related activities that are designed for a specified purpose. It is based on the individual's
level of health and fitness, and his or her aims. Due to the specific and unique needs and interests
of the individual, the goal of exercise prescription should be successful integration of exercise
principles and behavioral techniques that motivates the participant to adhere, thus achieving their
goals.

Apply the FITT principle when prescribing exercise:

• Frequency
o How many times a week for an activity?
o For sedentary individuals, start with 2-3 days/week of aerobic exercise and build
up to 5 days/week. Help to establish an exercise routine.
• Intensity
o How hard to exert?
o Someone new to exercise should start at a low intensity (60%), but health changes
occur at a moderate exercise intensity (80%)
• Type
o Which type of activity agreed with the exercising individual
o Should be enjoyable, affordable, and achievable
• Time
o How long in minutes
o This does not include the warm up or cool down.
o 10 min bouts of exercise can be accumulated throughout the day

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
o If walking is the exercise - first increase the time before increasing the intensity
(walking uphill/at a quicker pace)

Lesson 2: Types of Exercise

Exercise is physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of
conditioning any part of the body used to improve health and maintain fitness.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and American Heart Association (AHA)
recommend 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical
activity weekly. The time intervals should be at least 10 minutes or more per session.
Moderate physical activity should raise and maintain your heart rate to 50 - 70 percent of
your maximal heart rate. For a 40-year-old, this would equate to a heart rate in the 90 - 126 range.
Vigorous physical activity should raise and maintain your heart rate to 70 – 85 percent of
your maximal heart rate. That would equate to a heart rate in the 126 - 153 range for a 40-year-
old.
The type of exercise depends on the individual's fitness goal. The different types of exercise
vary according to its needs and its effects. Some types of exercise improve flexibility and muscle
strength. Others use the large muscles in your body to build heart strength. Still others increase
endurance. The three types of exercises fall into following categories-aerobic, strength
conditioning, and flexibility.

1. Aerobic/pulse rated exercises are any type of activity that utilizes oxygen to fuel your muscles.
It involves the ability of the heart, lungs, and the circulatory system. Any exercise that
repetitively uses the large muscle of your arms and legs for a sustained period of time can be
aerobic. Examples of aerobic exercises include brisk walking running, jumping rope, bicycling
or stationary cycling, swimming, star climbing, rowing, and cross-country skiing. Sports that
involve continuous running, such as basketball and soccer, also are aerobic exercises.

Examples of Aerobic Exercises:

Running - Running is a high


intensity, high-impact exercise so good
technique is important to ensure that you
get the most from a run. It requires more
power than walking; at one point in the
running action, both feet are off the
ground at the same time. The feet hit the
ground with more force, which makes
running a high-impact exercise (Roberts,
2002).

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
Walking is one of the best and certainly of the most versatile way to keep fit and
suitable to all fitness levels. It is a low impact exercise that works the glutes and all the
muscles in the leg, specifically the quadriceps and hamstrings. The longer the stride, the
more effort you need to put into it, but the more you slow yourself down. Concentration
of the power to walk is in the back leg as it push you off the ground (Roberts,2002).

Example of Aerobic Dances

a.) Zumba Dance - is a popular


fitness program inspired by
Latin dance. The word
"Zumba" comes from a
Colombian word that means
to move fast and have fun,
which is just how people
describe the routine. Using
upbeat Latin music together
with cardiovascular exercise,
Zumba is aerobic dancing that
is lots of fun and easy to learn.
b.) Hip Hop
c.) Taebo - is an invention of Billy Blanks that combines a series of martial arts
movements with aerobic steps.
d.) Hataw
e.) Aero walk-is combination of walking steps and marching movements done
aerobically (http://dance.about.com/od/typesofdance/a/Zumba.htm)

Benefits of Aerobic Exercises

1. Increased maximal oxygen consumption


2. Improve cardiovascular function
3. Lower blood pressure and heart rate
4. Increased threshold of lactic acid accumulation
5. Increased in HDL
6. Decreased triglycerides
7. Reduced body fat and improved light control
8. Improved glucose tolerance and reduced insulin resistance

The Basic of Heart Rate and Exercise


To determine if there is an effect in the aerobics exercises of any exercise that you do is to
monitor your heart rate. Monitoring heart rate determines the intensity of the effort you have
exerted during exercise. This includes your resting heart rate, maximum heart rate reserve and
target heart rate and the recovery heart rate. The intensity training will be determined using the
Karvonen Method

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)- The number of pulse beat at resting phase. It is taken by
counting the beats for 1 minute. The best time to take the RHR is upon waking up in the morning.
The average RHR 75 beats for males and 80 for females per minute (Tulio: 2010).

Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) - is the maximum number of beats the heart can beats in 1
minute. To determine in a simpler method is to subtract one’s age from 220 (Tulio: 2010).

Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) refers to the range between resting and maximum heart rate.
For example, 10-year-old with a resting heart rate of 80 has a heart rate reserve of 130 (220 – 10
= 210; 210 - 80 = 130)

Target Heart Rate (THR) refers to the heart rate needed to gain a training benefit. It is
divided into five different levels or zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate achieved

Five Zones/Levels:

Zone/Level 1: 50% - 60% of maximum heart rate. This level is used for extended period
of exercise with the purpose of building endurance. The body will burn fats as fuel to this level.

Zone/Level 2: 60% - 70% of maximum heart rate. This level is also used to build
endurance, while helping to strengthen the heart. It is a moderate intensity that allows the
individual to continue for an extended period of time.

Zone/Level 3: 70% - 80% of maximum heart rate. This level is known the target heart rate
zone, is where optimal aerobic training takes place. Overload occurs and aerobic gains are
maximized in this zone.

Zone/Level 4: 80% - 90% of maximum heart rate. This level is referred to as the anaerobic
threshold and begins working anaerobically, as opposed to aerobics. Interval training usually takes
place in this zone.

Zone/Level 5: 90% - 100% of maximum heart rate. This is referred to as oxygen debt,
meaning the cardio-respiratory system can no longer supply oxygen to the working muscles to
sustain movement at the current pace. Pushing to this zone/level would lead to injury and danger
if you are not extremely fit.

Karvonen Method

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
The most popular and simplest way to determine the target heart rate, based on VO2max
and their correlation with heart rate.

The Karvonen Formula:

Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 220-age


Heart Rate Preserve (HRR) = maximum heart rate - resting heart rate
Target Heart Rate (THR) = heart rate reserve x (Training zone percentage) + resting
heart rate

Example:

A 16-year-old girl is figuring zone 2 in her training exercise with resting heart rate of 85
beats per minute would look like this:

Computation

MHR = 220 -16 yrs. old = 204 MHR


HRR = 204 – 85 = 119 HRR
THR @ 60% = 119 HRR x .60% + 85 bpm RHR = 156.4/ 156 THR
THR @ 70% = 119 HRR x .70 + 85 bpm = 168.3/168 THR
Target Heart Rate ZONE 2 = 158-168 THR

2. Strength – conditioning exercises compliment aerobic exercises by building muscular strength

Benefits of muscular strength and endurance


1. increased physical performance
2. reduced chances of injury
3. enhanced well-being in several areas
4. Prevents postural problems and low back pain
5. Protects the joints from sprains and strains

To improve muscular strength and endurance, the best way is through weight training,
using either free weights or weight machines. It is an efficient way to strengthen your muscles.
Strength-conditioning exercises are called resistance exercises (Fahey, et.al., 1994).

Classification of strength training according to Type of Muscular Contraction

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
a. ISOTONIC EXERCISE – the muscles are made to
contract and relax to gain tones. Muscles change length either
shortening or lengthening.
b. ISOMETRIC EXERCISE - The
muscles undergo tension and hold
certain position for sometime in order to
develop muscle strength. Muscle
remains in the same length.

c. ISOKINETIC EXERCISE - The muscles contract at constant speed


that is done with machine velocity. Stack weights controls the performer to
move faster.
Example: Rubber Band Workouts
What is Rubber band
Workout?
Resistance bands often come in
different colors signifying different
levels of resistance. Resistance bands
are a way of using rubber bands to
build strength. They rely on the
elasticity of rubber to create resistance
very similar to what people get during
a workout with free weights, and they
allow for a number of exercises to
work many muscle groups. (Jacob

3. Flexibility – Flexibility training refers to any exercise method that helps the joints and tendons
become more flexible over time.

Benefits of Good Flexibility

a. Improved mobility in your joints and muscle


b. Muscle joints become more elastic and slow the less elastic process
The most important muscles to stretch include the hamstring (rear thigh), lower back
and shoulder muscles. There are various ways to accomplish this, primarily through safe
stretching exercises. Yoga, Pilates, and pre-exercise stretching may also be considered
flexibility training (http://www geek.com/what-is-flexibility-training.htm)

Yoga
The word Yoga comes from die Sanskrit word "Yuj" meaning to yoke, join or unite. This
implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual-body with mind and mind with soul – to
achieve a happy, balanced and useful life and spiritually, uniting the individual with the supreme
being. (Cedric Taylor @http://www.iyengar-yoga.com/yoga/).

Pilates
What is Pilates? Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology (from control and Greek –
Aoyia). The Pilates method seeks to increase the strength, flexibility and control of the body.
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength,
endurance, and coordination (Roberts, 2002).

TIPS FOR GOOD STRETCH:

1. Do not stretch to the point at which you feel discomfort or pain. Stay within a
comfortable range. Any discomfort is a signal that you have stretched too.
2. Stretch slowly and smoothly and never bounce or make jerking movements.
3. Sustain the stretch. Pause for 10 to 20 seconds when you have reached a full stretch, and
hold the position so your muscles and joints have enough time to benefit from the stretch
(Fahey, et. al 1994).

Lesson 3: Phases of Exercise

In a regimen, it is important to remember that phases of exercise should always be included.


The effectiveness of an exercise program depends on how the different exercises should vary
according to its phases and the principles.
1. Warm-up
The warm-up phase of exercise prepares your body for the activity of the conditioning part
of your workout. Warming up before exercise allows your body to adjust gradually to the increased
demand on your heart, muscles, breathing and circulation. Warm-ups also increase your body
temperature slowly improves, improve flexibility and protect against injury and muscle soreness.
Warm-ups involve light aerobic activities, such as walking slowly for 5 to 10 minutes or a
moderate version of your conditioning exercise, and should be based on your physical
characteristics and your conditioning activity. For strength training, warm up by moving your
joints and muscles.

The 4 Key Components of a Warm Up

a. General warm up

The general warm up should consist of a light physical activity, like walking,
jogging, easy swimming, stationary bike riding, skipping or easy aerobics. Both the
intensity and duration of the general warm up (or how hard and how long), should be
governed by the fitness level of the participating athlete. Although a correct general warm
up for the average person should take about five to ten minutes and result in a light
sweat.
The aim of the general warm up is simply to elevate the heart rate and respiratory
rate. This in turn increases the blood flow and helps with the transportation of oxygen and
nutrients to the working muscles. This also helps to increase the muscle temperature,
allowing for a more effective static stretch. Which bring us to part two.

b. Static stretching

Yes, Static stretching! (Short-hold static stretching of 10 – 15 seconds) This is a


very safe and effective form of basic stretching. There is a limited threat of injury and it is
extremely beneficial for overall flexibility. During this part of the warm up, static stretching
should include all the major muscle groups, and this entire part should last for about five
to ten minutes.

There’s quite a bit of controversy about whether static stretching should be included
in the warm up, and recent studies have shown that static stretching may have an adverse
effect on muscle contraction speed and therefore impair performance of athletes involved

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
in sports requiring high levels of power and speed. It is for this reason that static stretching
is conducted early in the warm-up procedure and is always followed by sports specific
drills and dynamic stretching.
This part of the warm up is extremely important, as it helps to lengthen both the
muscles and tendons, which in turn allows your limbs a greater range of movement. This
is very important in the prevention of muscle and tendon injuries.

c. Sport Specific warm up

With the first two parts of the warm up carried out thoroughly and correctly, it is
now safe to move onto the third part of an effective warm up. In this part, the athlete is
specifically preparing their body for the demands of their particular sport. During this part
of the warm up, more vigorous activity should be employed. Activities should reflect the
type of movements and actions that will be required during the sporting event,
including sports specific drills and technical drills.

d. Dynamic stretching

Finally, a correct warm up should finish with a series of dynamic stretches.


However, this form of stretching carries with it an increased risk of injury if used
incorrectly. Dynamic stretching is most effective after a moderate to high level of general
flexibility has been established.

Dynamic stretching involves a controlled, soft bounce or swinging motion to move


a particular body part to the limit of its range of movement. The force of the bounce or
swing is gradually increased but should never become radical or uncontrolled.

During this final part of an effective warm up it is also important to keep the
dynamic stretches specific to the athlete’s particular sport. This is the final part of the
warm up and should result in the athlete reaching a physical and mental peak. At this point
the athlete is most prepared for the rigors of their sport or activity.

3. Cool-down

The cool down phase ends your exercise session with recovery time for your body. Cooling
down requires you to keep moving after you end the conditioning phase lasted 5 to 15 minutes.
Cool down movements should allow your heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature to return
slowly to normal. A gradual decrease in physical activity, such as slow walking, is a good way to
cool down. You can also perform a few stretching movements to cool down.

Lesson 4: Effects of Exercise on Selected Body System

The body's main physiological support systems are the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
respiratory, digestive, immune, nervous, and endocrine systems.

1. The Musculoskeletal System

The skeleton creates a supporting framework and protects the body's vital organs. The
bones also act as a reservoir for calcium and other minerals. Weight-bearing exercise strengthens
your bones and helps prevent osteoporosis.

Exercise also increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance. Your muscles (and
connective tissue linking the bones) are important for maintaining upright posture against gravity
and enabling movement. They also produce heat. Movement of the joints lubricates them with
synovial fluid, reducing stiffness. Stretching exercises can facilitate mobility and flexibility of the
joints, increasing your range of motion.

2. The Cardiovascular and Immune Systems

At the center of the cardiovascular system is your heart. Along with the blood vessels, it
forms a network for carrying blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the body, and removing
waste (carbon dioxide). Physical training strengthens your heart and normalizes blood pressure,
lowering your risk of heart disease.

The blood vessels are supported by the lymph vessels and nodes (which make your immune
cells). The lymphatic system removes toxins and returns them to the blood circulation. Exercise
boosts lymph flow, thus promoting a healthy immune system, which is crucial for fighting
infections.

3. The Nervous and Endocrine Systems

Your nervous system consists of the brain and nerves. Its function is to receive, store,
process, and send information. It controls functions such as heart rate and breathing, as well as
motor movement. Exercise calms your nervous system, as a result of better circulation and reduced
muscle tension. Recent studies have shown that regular exercise may also improve thinking skills
and enhance memory.

The endocrine system is closely associated with the nervous system. It sends hormones to
the body to control growth, blood sugar levels, body temperature, and metabolism. Exercise
regulates your hormonal balance, enhancing organ function and physical fitness, and lifting your
mood.

Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
4. The Digestive and Respiratory Systems

The lungs provide the body with oxygen, which is necessary for cellular survival. Exercise
increases the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body and contributes to the elimination of carbon
dioxide. The effects of exercise on respiration are seen almost immediately.

Your digestive system breaks down food into usable nutrients and eliminates waste
products. Over time, it tends to get sluggish and works less efficiently. Exercise contributes to
proper functioning of the digestive system, and aids the elimination of waste.

Physiological adaptations vary from one person to the next. Major factors, according to
the Centers for Disease Control, include the intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise, along
with age and initial fitness level.

To make improvements in your fitness you need to overload your body. Overload principle
state that doing more than normal is necessary.

The acronym FITT is an appropriate guide in helping an individual apply the overload
principle:

FREQUENCY: at least 3 days per week


INTENSITY: between 60 and 80 per cent maximal heart rate
TIME/DURATION: 15 to 60 minutes of continuous or discontinuous activity, depending
on the intensity
TYPE/MODE: rhythmical exercises using large muscle groups (eg. aerobics, cross-
country cycling: hiking jogging rope-skipping; rowing; running;
skating: swimming; walking)

2. Progression

This principle states that there is a need to gradually increase overload to achieve optimal
benefits. It is important to progress slowly with consideration and emphasis on the FITT formula
to minimize occurrences of overuse injuries.

3. Specificity

Your exercise program must be specifically related to your training goals. This means you
need to overload your muscles in the best way for your particular purpose. For example, the
training you do for building a hot set of 6 pack abs is very different to the training to the training
to improve your physical performance for martial arts.

Your exercise program should be designed specifically to get you to this goal. Your
exercise program for total body fitness would include:

Aerobic exercise/Cardio
Flexibility
Resistance exercises
etc.

4. Individuality Principle

Remember this from school? "Everyone is different, which means everyone is special”

PED 001 Course Book 1 Name of Student: _______________________________


Schedule: ___________ Section: __________
Everyone's body is different.
Everyone has got different things which motivate them.
Everyone has got different levels of exercise experiences.
Everyone has had different injuries.

This means that when you take up an exercise program, you're going to get different results.

5. Reversibility

"Use it or lose it

Were you ever really good at something when you were younger? And then years later,
after trying it again, you discovered "I just ain’t what it used to be". Well then, you've experienced
the principle of reversibility. The exact same thing happens with fitness training. If you stop
exercising, gradually the gains that you initially made begin to disappear.

6. Adaptation/Use

This is the principle that emphasizes the body’s increasing ability to cope with the load
being brought about by the training program.

7. Variation

This is the principle that gives consideration in maintaining the interest of the exercising
individual.

8. Time Pattern

This is the principle that gives consideration to the preferred time of the exercising
individual.

9. Recuperation/Recovery

This is the principle that states that the body requires recovery periods between exercise
training session in order to adapt to the exercise stress.
